Wilh. Kober storage locker find.
Gentlemen,
A friend of mine bought a storage locker and this dagger was in one of the boxes. He sent me pictures and I made an offer right then. So happy to add this beauty to my collection. It makes you wonder what is still out there in storage containers and attics!
All I can say is WOW ...I am enamored by how dark the original blackening is in the motto despite the one water mark on the blade...and the presence of pimpling in the motto.
The blade appears to be practically mint except for some in and out runner marks...not too bad.
This has to be one of the best Kobers with original motto darkening i have seen with this maker.
Love the low crossguard step
The fittings have a very nice patina and beneath the guard shows that the scabbard has been married to this beauty for a long time.
I have to agree Lynette ...there is still wood in the wood work and still alot of artifacts waiting to be found
Thankyou for sharing ..another great trophy and a witness to that time period.
You never know how close this dagger may have been near to some high profile personality.
Regards Larry

All what i need to see in a Suhl dagger is there, the blackened logo, typical low Suhl crossguard step.
Larry pointed it out perfectly!
Congratz, its a beauty!
